The exaggerated features almost remind me of stage makeup. Stage makeup isn't meant to look good close up or under normal lighting, but is meant to be viewed from the back of the theater and under bright lights from above.
There may be a core of this group that was originally styling, using cosmetics, and undergoing treatment with the goal to look a certain way from a distance in photos and on video (but not necessarily up close and in person). From there, the acolytes followed the styles not realizing why they were chosen.
I'd guess shitty doctors promising things they can't deliver is also a contributing factor. Or maybe just straight up lies about what is attractive. Those swollen lips are such a turn off.
But then again, I'm also turned off by a lot of breat implants but some guys seem to love it, so maybe my tastes aren't the average. Though I really do wonder how much the average person goes along with what others say is attractive vs making up their own mind.
I have to wonder who decided that large breasts are supposed to be attractive. Like when did we have that conversation?
It's not like people are out there having enlarged shoulders. So it's not just the bigger is better.
I'm convinced that plastic surgeons just told these women that men find unrealistically large breasts more attractive simply because breast enlargement is an easy thing to do and it's a quick win for them.
I think big boobs used to be a lot more special before widespread plastic surgery.
I think it's really that big boobs used to be a lot more special before the obesity epidemic. It's easy to have giant tits with >40% body fat. Even cis men can do it.
